Hi,  
Can I ask what data, if any, is stored locally by kibana? When running in docker, or a k8s pod, this data will be lost after a restart. Is this something that needs to be accounted for?

Regards,  
D

Other than the config, nothing of stateful importance (that I know of), that's all stored in Elasticsearch.

Ok thx. I vaguely remember sometime ago reading that some data is stored under the kibana install directory. If true, that must have changed 🙂

There is some assets that are built when Kibana first runs, but there's nothing that cannot be replaced with another instance.

Note - I am not a Kibana dev, perhaps someone with better knowledge can add more clarity 🙂
